We heard your feedback and made some updates to our ballot for the 1st preseason BlogPoll. Keep the feedback coming -- this is exactly what makes this thing so awesome.
I anticipate the inaugural preseason poll will be out sometime today, but as always, check BlogPoll Central for more information.| 1 |  |
The machine is so well-oiled, that we half expect to see Pete guest-starring on Entourage while his team reels off 7 straight. |
| 2 |  |
Stacked with veteran skill players, but who will blow it first - Lloyd or the defense? |
| 3 |  |
Stout defense will help break in a new quarterback and a favorable schedule could give Miles his put-up or shut-up moment with USC. |
| 4 |  |
Loaded backfield, Devine and a great young coach with only Rutgers and Louisville standing in the way of a perfect season. |
| 5 |  |
Wooderson's boys have a young Colt on offense, but concerns about the secondary may come back to bite them. |
| 6 |  |
Herban's team speed continues to light up the scoreboard and police blotter. #5 out of respect and repeating is tough, but don't count out Meyer. |
| 7 |  |
Under the radar, as usual. Fact is, if they run the table in the Big Ten, they'll be a NC candidate. |
| 8 |  |
Another team loaded with talent, but Big Game Bobby is on a skid of sorts. Texas is also over the hump mentally. |
| 9 |  |
Never been a huge Beamer fan, but there's no way you can't root for these guys this season. Still, you gotta wonder how a team gathering in Michael Vick Hall will do. |
| 10 |  |
We're cautious, but there's too much talent on this squad to keep it out of the top ten. |
| 11 |  |
Brohm's a stud, but you never know how things will go when a veteran QB gets a brand new coach. |
| 12 |  |
Cal - that team you root for to beat USC each season, so your squad can rise in the rankings. |
| 13 |  |
Little known fact: Phil Fulmer's blood type is Gravy+. Despite that, Ainge could have a monster year. The Coker situation hurts, though. |
| 14 |  |
Only 11 returning starters, but friendly schedule could help the cause. Is this the season that it all comes together for Stafford? |
| 15 |  |
Click-Clack. Tubberville knows how to win in the tough SEC. |
| 16 |  |
Schiano is building something special out east and will own NJ shortly (ouch, Joe Pa). Rice will get about 1800 and the Scarlet Knights could easily be staring at a BCS bid when the dust settles. |
| 17 |  |
Big win over USC last season is wonderful for the program's confidence and 20 returning starters helps. Your WR coach a cat burglar.. not so much. |
| 18 |  |
Joe Poo's boys get OSU and Wisconsin at home, but until they can prove that they're capable of beating the Wolverines, we gotta keep them down. |
| 19 |  |
The talent is most definitely there. How many other schools could Felix Jones start for right now? The real question is to the (mental) state of the program. |
| 20 |  |
The Ian Johnson feel-good fest is alive and well for year 2. A tough season-ending ame at Hawaii may prevent them from repeating last season's heroics. |
| 21 |  |
We still have grave doubts about Callahan's abilities as a coach, but the program is back on the up and the addition of Keller helps. |
| 22 |  |
Jones is an underrated coach and Brennan should pass for .. oh.. about 75,000 yards and 200 TDs this season. A very favorable schedule could have them becoming the Boise State of 2007. |
| 23 |  |
New coaches, new ideas, and the venerable Bobby Bowden. The program is a little down, but don't be surprised to see a slight resurgance heading into the Alabama game on 9/29. |
| 24 |  |
It just wouldn't feel right leaving the Ol' Ball Coach out of the rankings, would it? |
| 25 |  |
Steele likes Bama as a darkhorse national title contender, but Saban's karma may check those plans. |
